When I try to reproduce Eric's post, I get an error message about an unexpected keyword argument (maybe my version of Sage is too old.) But look at this:
sage: solve(*2**(x+sqrt(*1*-x^*2*))-*7*,x,explicit_solutions=True) [1/4*I*sqrt(41) + 7/4 == -1/2*sqrt(7/2*I*sqrt(41) + 2), 1/4*I*sqrt(41) + 7/4 == 1/2*sqrt(7/2*I*sqrt(41) + 2)] That doesn't look like an "explicit solution" to me. How can I force solve to return only actual solutions, i.e. x = something not containing x? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
